I'm looking out of the window - the rain's falling down, the leaves are shaking in the cold wind, and the sky has disappeared behind the grey clouds...
I'm holding a cup of hot tea to warm my hands....

...and it was only two months ago that I was enjoying the 40 Centigrades of Jordanian summer, sipping a cold drink after a full day of snorkelling in the Red Sea, a lazy day of rest among 30 others of wandering around Syria and Jordan ...autumn has only just begun and I'm already missing summer, missing travelling...

Coca-cola was not an intentional choice for this shot, but the fact is that I drink it solely when I travel to hot countries so I do associate it with summer. And more than to kill the thirst, I drink it to alleviate stomach problems that are likely to appear in this kind of climate, eating falafels from the street eateries for 25 cents :-) Coca-cola kills everything, the unwelcome bacteria as well:-)


The shot was taken in one of the numerous diving/snorkelling centres along the coast of the Red Sea south of Aqaba. The marine life in the area is said to be one of the richest in the world, and you don't have to be a diver to enjoy it, a snorkell and a mask will let you see enough to appreciate its beauty.

Nice shot and note, Alex! Really, I miss summer too, as I am used to this kind of weather (when are you planning to visit Israel??) and Central South America sure made me chilly...
Good shallow DOF, in place!

Hi Aleksandra,
I'm also beginning to miss summer but with a few ounces of RUM perhaps it might help us forget what's coming??
Nice shot and very imaginative.
Regards,
Paul
